Enable speed limit on HUD without Driver Assistance package?

lilfoot · 09-12-2014, 01:13 AM

I did some reading and didn't find anything - but is it possible to code the HUD to show speed limit information without the driver's assistance package (front view camera)? I read somewhere that the car uses speed limit info from GPS and will change based on what the camera picks up, so I assume it'd be possible to show whatever the navi knows.

My car is a 2012 328i with CIC/Navi/6WA.

unfortunately this is not possible. you need that front camera

Would it be possible for me to buy the front camera (the one behind the rear view mirror, right?) and code the car with the feature? Would this require a FSC code to unlock the functionality?

At a minimum, you would need to retrofit Kafas2 Camera, and you would need a 7E SLI FSC Code issues by BMW AG for your VIN.

I have the front camera on my 2012 328i. How do i display speed limit on my HUD??

Can the FLA camera be swapped out for KAFAS?

There's now a KAFAS emulator that will allow the display the speed limit information based on the navigation map data. It doesn't actually have a camera to read the signs, but allows SLI to be coded and enabled via coding to show up in the cluster or HUD.

I have not tried this myself, but I'm considering it.
